Kindergarten
We realise that starting in a new school is a challenging moment for parents and children alike. We pride ourselves in making the integration as smooth and successful for every child.
The teaching team is composed of certified and experienced teachers of different nationalities. The team enjoys an open and positive relationship with the families.
TODDLER CLASSES
Each month the French and English teachers propose different language, musical, motor skill activities around a monthly theme. These activities are adapted for the very little ones, from the age of two. The children will discover the world of sharing, playing, and growing together in fun and colourful classrooms. Play centres and workshops are part of their daily routine. We respect each child’s biological rhythm. We accept children who are not yet potty trained and of course dummies, soft toys.
PRESCHOOL TO KINDERGARTEN
We offer each student a warm welcome, in a positive environment that encourages the intellectual, sensory and emotional development of each child.
The classrooms are cheerful and colourful with play corners and a variety of specialised materials (Montessori), adapted for an active pedagogy, permitting children to learn by playing.
